Is the habit of reading books a good way of maintaining one’s brain and mind in good condition?

Yes. Much better than watching anything.
My hunch is it’s because when you read you create the story in your head. When you watch, you observe the story.
When you read, you activate your imagination and translate the words into images in your head. When you watch, you don’t translate anything. You are passive.
